9.0 Examinations and Assessment - The Grading System
9.1 Grades will be awarded to indicate the performance of each student in each Theory course, or

(Continuous Internal Evaluation + Semester End Examination, both taken together) as
specified in Section 7 above, and a corresponding Letter Grade shall be given.
9.2 As a measure of the student’s performance, a 10-point Absolute Grading System using the
following Letter Grades (UGC Guidelines) and corresponding percentage of marks shall be
followed:
Department of Management Studies Page 10
% of Marks Secured in a Course (Class Intervals)
Letter Grade (UGC)
Grade Points
90% and above ( 90% , ≤100% ) O (Outstanding) 10
Below 90% but not less than 80% ( 80% , <90% ) A+ (Excellent) 9
Below 80% but not less than 70% ( 70% , <80% ) A (Very Good) 8
Below 70% but not less than 60% ( 60% , <70% )
B+ (Good) 7
Below 60% but not less than 50% ( 50% , <60% ) B (above Average) 6
Below 50% ( < 50% ) F(FAIL) 0
Absent Ab 0
9.3 A student obtaining ‘F’ Grade in any course is deemed to have ‘failed’ and is required to
reappear as ‘Supplementary Candidate’ for the Semester End Examination (SEE), as and when
conducted. In such cases, his internal marks (CIE Marks) in those courses shall remain as
obtained earlier.
9.4 If a student has not appeared for the examinations, ‘Ab’ Grade will be allocated to him for any
course and shall be considered ‘failed’ and will be required to reappear as ‘Supplementary
Candidate’ for the Semester End Examination (SEE), as and when conducted.
9.5 A Letter Grade does not imply any specific marks percentage; it is only the range of percentage
of marks.
9.6 In general, a student shall not be permitted to repeat any course only for the sake of ‘Grade
Improvement’ or ‘SGPA/ CGPA improvement’.
9.7 A student earns Grade Point (GP) in each course, on the basis of the Letter Grade obtained by
him in that course. The corresponding ‘credit points’ (CP) are computed by multiplying the
Grade Point with credits for that particular course.
Credit Points (CP) = Grade Point (GP) x Credits …. For a Course
9.8 The student passes the Course only when he gets GP ≥ 6 (B Grade or above).
9.9 The Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is calculated by dividing the Sum of Credit Points
(Σ CP) secured from ALL courses registered in a semester, by the Total Number of Credits
registered during that semester. SGPA is rounded off to TWO Decimal Places. SGPA is thus
computed as
SGPA = { ∑ } / { ∑ } …. For each Semester
where ‘i’ is the course indicator index (taking into account all courses in a Semester), ‘N’ is the
no. of courses ‘REGISTERED’ for the Semester (as specifically required and listed under the
course structure of the parent department), Ci is the no. of credits allotted to the ith course, and
Gi represents the Grade Points (GP) corresponding to the Letter Grade awarded for that ith
course.
Department of Management Studies Page 11
9.10 The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is a measure of the overall cumulative
performance of a student over ALL Semesters considered for registration. The CGPA is the
ratio of the Total Credit Points secured by a student in ALL registered courses in ALL
Semesters, and the Total Number of Credits registered in ALL the Semesters. CGPA is
rounded off to TWO Decimal Places. CGPA is thus computed from the I Year second semester
onwards, at the end of each semester, as per the formula
CGPA = { ∑ }/ { ∑ } …for all S Semesters registered (ie.,
upto and inclusive of S Semesters, S 2),
where ‘M’ is the TOTAL no. of courses (as specifically required and listed under the course
structure of the parent department) the student has ‘REGISTERED’ for from the 1st Semester
onwards up to and inclusive of the semester S ( obviously M > N ), ‘j’ is the course indicator
index (taking into account all courses from 1 to S Semesters), C is the no. of credits allotted
to the jth course, and G represents the Grade Points (GP) corresponding to the Letter Grade
awarded for that jth course. After registration and completion of I Year I Semester however,
the SGPA of that semester itself may be taken as the CGPA, as there are no cumulative effects.

all the course requirements and passes the examinations prescribed in the entire PG program
and secures the required number of 105 credits (with CGPA>or = 6.0) shall be declared to have

assistance from the faculty and head of the MBA department of the college to pursue the process
of getting the summer internship. College constantly approaches companies and professionals

institution.

chartered accountants, doctor, lawyers, real estate etc.), small or big or any entrepreneur,
manager of any business organization and understand how they are doing business. They can
visit the dealers, distributors, retailers, companies or their branch offices, units in their nearby
cities, towns to understand their business model.

should be presented. There is no need to present information available in the websites. Students
should give reference to the web link with a brief note on what the web site contains.
